Minor variances authorized for high-density mixed-use development near planned transit station.
The appellant appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision regarding minor variances for a high-rise mixed-use development incorporating residential towers and townhouses.
The proposed development was revised to increase height and density following the announcement of a planned light rail transit station adjacent to the site.
The Tribunal found that the requested variances met the four tests under the Planning Act, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conformed to the regional official plan.
The appeal was allowed in part, and the variances were authorized subject to conditions.
